This is fresh!
My little sister Jasmine came up to me the other day and said, "I found a journal of yours from High School. It's funny. I read it all, I couldn't stop myself." Thanks Jaz, for the honesty!
Anyway she was right. As I started reading through it I was laughing so hard at myself! This journal was from a creative writing class I took my senior year. I wanted to share some excerpts with you.
Disclaimer-I have no idea where most of these entry came from?

"Bob Marley went to Zambia for a concert. While he was there a bald man grabbed him and started to cut his hair, saying he needed it more than Bob did."

"My biggest dream I have is that one day I can go to Ireland. And I will go there!" (side note: I did go there in October of 2006).

"My old best friend from 10th grade. Sitting one seat away from me. It doesn't hurt anymore. It's okay that we aren't friends."

"April Fools day was a joy. I got my wisdom teeth out and was drugged up for a few days. This "vacation" from school has put me behind. I'm scared and struggling to keep up! However, getting your wisdom teeth isn't as bad as i thought it would be. The worst part is the permanent nerve damage I experienced from this special occasion. You see, the roots were wrapped around my nerve in the back of my mouth and the doctor said there was no possible way of removing the tooth w/o taking a risk of nerve damage. Great, now I can't feel a part of my face."
(Side note: I'm pretty sure I have full feeling capacity in my face? I must have been being a little dramatic. However I do remember when I got my wisdom teeth out Christian bought me a new pair of shoes! Yay!)

-This one made me laugh because I was expecting it to be deep and serious
"Soft damp grains of white sand slide through my fingers. At the end of the day these grains of sand are the ones lucky enough to have not been caught in between some European man's upper thigh and speedo! Instead these chosen grains of sand are left once again to sleep next to the beautiful crashing waves that break against the other unfortunate pieces of sand that are getting hurled around by the ocean until they erode to nothing.

"Why do so many men here (Cancun) wear speedos? I'm talkin' 95% of the men I have seen are wearing less than an Indians loin cloth! Do they think this is attractive? I say unto you NAY! It is not attractive. And I word it that way because it should be a commandment to NOT wear speedos. Heck it should at least be common sense."

There's nothing like the innocence comments of a small child. Today my little sister told me, and everyone else within a hundred mile radius, that i had a booger hanging out my nose! ...she's 10-not a small child!"
Oh sweet mercy. I forgot how much talent I have in writing and expressing my emotions. Or the lack there of.
It's crazy that fall has already come!
It's a little chilly in the mornings. So Christian, Lord of the Flame, went searching for wood in the morning. We burned all our wood the night before chatting and telling stories with some great friends.
Now, at this point in the relationship Christian should know that any picture I take could have the potential to be put on the blog...so...sorry hun. But here he is. Big Foot. Gathering wood to make fire.
And here's Kory, laughing as he burns our last piece of wood for the night, knowing we'll be freezing in the morning if we don't save some for a fire! AHEM!!! Just kidding. There were just too many good stories being told to retire to bed early. Love you kids!
